a stranger in this country.”
“Yes,” was the gentle, unassuming
answer.
“1 want to make you welcome, but be­

family I want to ask you a question or
two.
Have you got any gcxxl advice

“1 I must confess I don’t quite un­

Finally, one night, he says: ‘Boys,

he said, ’is that when any of us gits

A curious bond of sympathy between

has been discovered by a California sol­

the pages of the Overland Monthly.
When the Ygreto chief, badly wounded
in the February fight, was recovering
from his hurts in our hospital in Ma­
nila, one of our soldiers who knew the
Cherokee language, though he recog­
nized in the Ygreto’s talk words that
bore a striking resemblance to Chero­
kee. He tried the chief with a few
sentences in Cherokee, with the re­
sult that the two soon readily under­

friends.
